Postwar Chicago blues legend and pioneer, Muddy Waters, and the other guitarists
in his various bands, like Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin, were fond of single-note
bass string turnarounds seen in Fig. 7. Check out how a second guitar could
strum E7, A7, E7, and B7 chords of two beats each as accompaniment, though just
the I and V changes as indicated could also suffice.

Fig. 8 could be considered a “lead guitar” turnaround played over a rhythm guitar
accompaniment or just a bass, due to its upper register range and bluesy “lick appeal.”
Both Freddie King and Jimi Hendrix played similar patterns on electric guitar.
